Title: Guys will Y2038 affect of cryptocurrency? Post by: my dream2021 on May 21, 2018, 12:35:48 AM As we can see in the article: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/dec/17/is-the-year-2038-problem-the-new-y2k-bug
there was explain bug in 32-bit processors. Quote The year 2038 problem is caused by 32-bit processors and the limitations of the 32-bit systems they power. The processor is the central component that drives all computers and computing devices. It crunches the numbers and performs calculations that allow programs to run. So, that it can be affect of cryptocurrency like a bug wallet, algoritma, or blockchain?Essentially, when the year 2038 strikes 03:14:07 UTC on 19 March, computers still using 32-bit systems to store and process the date and time won’t be able to cope with the date and time change. Like the Y2K bug, the computers won’t be able to tell the difference between the year 2038 and 1970 – the year after which all current computer systems measure time.

It is possible that somebody's mining software might set the value incorrectly as of 2038, but I'm sure they would fix that bug very quickly.
